August 4, 2013, 11PM: Played 1 hour at Bovada
$0.25 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

Good session. Ran better than yesterday.  Was about 0-12 when set mining, but avoided any real tricky spots.  Won a few really standard small pots.  A couple big pots played out as follows:
 
I raised AA in MP and the BB called.  Flop was JT6...he checked I bet he called.  Turn was 4 he checked I bet 3/4 pot which was about 25% of his stack.  He shoved...I was fairly certain he had JT but was getting 2:1 and thought he might have QJ, KJ, AJ enough to make the call...plus I kinda just said screw it and called.  Sure enough he had JT, but I ripped a 4 and took the pot.
 
Last hand of the night: After a couple EP limps, guy raises to 1.50 (He had just sat at the table a min or two before)...I 3bet to 3.25 with JJ.  Guy calls.  Flop Q94, he donks 2.25 into $7 pot.  I call thinking I can have the best hand there a decent percentage of the time.  Turn was a brick and he bet 2.25 again.  This should have looked relatively weak and I should have just called.  However, I could not think of many hands outside of a Q he could have other than like TT or 88 so I decided to raise to 6.50, turning my hand into a bluff.  Thought given the action so far I could rep QQ+ and AQ...maaaybe KQ if he has QJ or QT.  He calls the raise.  River is a brick and he checks.  I was very happy to check but assumed he had the best hand.  He showed K9! I couldn't believe it but was happy to take the $25 pot.
